Pace attack wins Waugh

Steve Waugh
says Australia’s decision to rely on pace bowling to defend their World Cup title is risky but could be a winner.

Waugh, who captained Australia to World Cup victory in 1999, says relying on strike bowlers
Brett Lee
,
Shaun Tait
,
Mitchell Johnson
and
Doug Bollinger
is an unusual move for the tournament, which is being hosted by India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka from February 19 to April 2.

“We’ve taken an aggressive approach," Waugh told reporters in New Delhi. “So the jury’s out but I think Australia are in form."

Australia have picked just one frontline spinner,
Jason Krejza
, in their 15-man squad.
